Ever since I finished Question Time, Reform have massively been on the attack. Including a rant from Richard Tice entirely designed to distract from Reform and Russia. Everyone should know about Nathan Gill, the bribes from Russia and the link to Reform.

The Greens requested an interview on the Laura Kuenssberg Show with Zack Polanski when he was elected leader, but were denied, with a promise to interview him during Green conference instead. This was then scrapped citing the Manchester synagogue attack. Polanski is both Jewish and from Manchester

NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO! NO!!!

Men in balaclavas set fire to a mosque in East Sussex last night. It's only appearing on the BBC's local coverage, rather than its main national headlines, despite coming just a week after the (also under-reported) firebombing of an asylum hotel in London last week www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I’m so sad about what has happened to #CuriousCasesOn radio 4. Now I just rush to switch over each time it comes on, and it used to be sooo good. 😌

Starmer shows himself politically inept and confused again. Gaza protests are nothing to do with British Jews. Except insofar as many British Jews do join them. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

The point is the Met Police are absolute scum AND the people in charge of sorting it out are absolute scum. They don’t even understand what the problem is. No amount of woeful sighing on BBCR4 Woman’s Hour is going to fix that. Calling it ‘cancer’ is the problem, not the solution.

Years ago my bicycle was locked to a bike rack in front of Charing Cross Police Station and stolen. It was in plain sight of several of their CCTV cameras. I went in to report this, and asked if the footage could be used to figure out what happened. They laughed in my face and did fuck all. Vile.

Sorry, a "hidden culture" of misogyny and racism in the Met police? Hidden?

Is there a reason I ask that the Times are using a picture of asylum seekers in a boat to describe rules for migrants who came on legal routes such as skilled worker visas for doctors?

German media seems to be taking more seriously than ours the fact a leading light in the party UK press keeps saying will be next government took bribes from Russia to spout their lies. Maybe it’s because they put NEWS ahead of propaganda

Do we think if there was a cyber attack on the arts that the government would stump up two years-worth of Arts Council funding (ie £1.5 bn)? 🤔

Reform is the patriotic party... Russian patriots ....... www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

Honestly, we all need this.

The scenes on our streets are shameful consequences of decades of austerity - government after government fanning the flames of anti migration instead of tackling inequality. We can & must make different choices. Solidarity to all communities under attack. We stand together.

Busy day for some showing their love of unity and respect for the kingdom by drinking strong lager and throwing bottles at the police.

This is why we must @defendourjuries.bsky.social "BREAKING: GANTRY CLIMBERS NOT GUILTY" 'A jury found Sam, Isobel & Rachel not guilty of public nuisance at Guilford Crown Court today, after they climbed gantries above the M25 in 2022 The jury decided they had a reasonable excuse for taking action'

As a child I guess I imagined Herod as a fairytale baddie kind of verging on the loveable sort of character. Thinking of Netanyahu now feels like picturing the essence of true evil. And he’s taking down Israel down with himself along with Palestine. With Trump complicit. Chills the blood.

Bro with Mycroft Holmes-level intelligence says • democracy is the least bad system we have • I challenge him by asking why, then, did we vote ourselves out of the democracy that is the European Parliament and • he insists the idea of Brexit was excellent but implementation ruined by civil servants.

Explosions are everywhere - From the Eastern parts to the Western ones I’m wondering how many shaheds And missiles russians have been launched Probably the record amount

russians coming at us in Zaporizhzhia… With the American flag in their hands. 🤦‍♀️ What kind of sick circus is this??

First we had ‘swimming’ Then we had ‘wild swimming’ Now we have ‘cold water swimming’ What will it be next, do you think? #Swimming #WildSwimming #ColdWaterSwimming

Look at this: www.forbes.com/sites/unicef... and then THIS: www.israelnationalnews.com/news/413175 Words really fail.

"Are you a terrorist?"

Having no interest in football, I’m trying to figure out what they mean on #R4Today when they keep telling me that ‘football’s coming home’. What does it actually mean?

I notice Starmer's appalling attempts to presumably encourage people to attack food delivery drivers if they look like illegal immigrants. The fool goes from worse to worse.

David Mencer shouting at his interviewer instead of addressing the starvation of the people in Gaza is unspeakably hellish and evil. #R4Today

What is a tote bag?

#TàTFest2025 's London listings are live! Join us to watch this amazing group of artists and their new works this September/October, with tickets from just £6.50. What are you most excited about seeing? www.tete-a-tete.org.uk/festival/tet...

Royal Opera House: displaying the Palestinian flag is not in line with our commitment to political neutrality. Also the Royal Opera House: we've turned our building into a giant Ukrainian flag

I just read that Albert Uderzo was colour blind. Who knew?!

“We are seeing the silencing of dissent by a weak government composed of war criminals who are afraid the law will catch up to them… The draconian measures are not being introduced because the establishment is winning, but because it is losing” www.councilestatemedia.uk/p/democracie...

If you see a "list of 100 best" anything, are you like me, and scroll all the way through to start with #1 then go through the list 'backwards'?

Slightly ironic, isn't it, that the only elected members of our second chamber are the hereditary peers... www.parliament.uk/business/new...

HMG going bananas about what was said in Glastonbury while weaponising the Israeli genocide of Palestinians is absolutely horrific.

I keep hearing reporting of the awful Child Q story with the victim’s race mentioned but not the perpetrators. Isn’t that in itself racist?

How do I sign up? @palaction.bsky.social

Genocide is ok, but we draw the line at paint 🤡

In 2003, anti-war activists broke into RAF Fairford to stop US bombers heading to Iraq. Keir Starmer defended their actions and said it was justified to prevent war crimes. Now his government is banning Palestine Action for doing the same. The Prime Minister is a hypocrite.

HERE WE GO!!!! #WW3

Stupefied and so saddened by this parliament’s attacks from all sides on disabled people and abandonment of the arts in spite of manifesto promises. Who’d have thought it a year ago?

Why are it OK for Israel to have nuclear weapons but not Iran?

Kemi Badenoch on R4 Today: “I’m sorry Emma, you are changing the very focus of what I’m talking about.” Isn’t that precisely the job of an interviewer? 🤔

a woman just trying to get home gets shot

We have been dancing, drinking and going out with boys, well what more could you ask for?

My favourite feed, I think ❤️

Trying to ape the policies of its opponents is never going to help Labour win. And the awful truth is we, the nation, are the collateral.
